Literary Losses

Literary heavy-weights will celebrate the life and works of Atlanta native and renowned author Pat Conroy on September 2 at the keynote event of the 2016 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Decatur Book Festival presented by DeKalb Medical. Cassandra King Conroy and Rick Bragg, accompanied by friends and family, will share their favorite passages from Conroy’s works. A legend of late-20th-century Southern literature, Conroy penned, among many others, The Prince of Tides and The Great Santini, which were both developed into Oscar-nominated films.
